Thank you very much all you, guys! On one hand, there are so many fake coins on Ebay. On the other hand, there are so many black archaeologists in Ukraine that it is easier to find the coin rather than to make a fake copy. Also, the inscription seems to be authentic. I have some doubts about patina... Anyway, I decided to keep it in my collection. Thanks again! Best, Vahe
